He made his professional debut on 28 April 1987 when he lost to rugby league player Adam Fogerty in Halifax, West Yorkshire. From there Fury went on to win his next six fights until a draw with David Hopkins in Helsinki on 13 February 1989.
He was rewarded by a shot at the vacant Central Area title against Neil Malpass but lost on points. After that he rebounded with wins against Michael Murray, a future British title challenger and Cesare Di Benedetto, a future Italian title challenger. However in his next fight Fury suffered a devastating KO loss against future WBO champion Henry Akinwande.
